Hi Jens,

Yes I can send you the query in a private message.

All our queries are invoked by a function call so you are right when you mentioned it might be hard to figure out which database is used from the query.

For example almost all our queries use the following structure:

Function Call:

import module namespace Rule1 = "http://www.rule.com/xquery/Rule1" at "rulesFolder/Rule1.xq" ;

Rule1:execute((<context><doc.id>doc1</doc.id></context>))

Rule1.xq is defined as

declare function Rule1:create-findings($context as element()) as node() {

let $doc := doc($context/doc.id)

let $findings := <perform something here to get results using $doc>

return

{$findings}

</findings>

};

declare function Rule1:execute($context as element()) as node() {

{Rule1:create-findings($context)}

</analysisResult>

};

Is global lock needed for non-update function calls too, as one can determine if the function is an update function or not from its declaration?

Thanks,

Srini

Hi Srini,

plain XQuery read-only queries should not block others. Reason for blocking could be you're using some XQuery method where it's hard or impossible to tell which databases get accessed. An example would be `xquery:eval(…)` which will acquire a global write lock due to it's generally unpredictable access behavior.

Can you post the queries on the list (or send me as private message)?

Kind regards from Lake Constance, Germany,
Jens
